Since EPSO moved all exams online because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, this is currently not relevant. If the decision is ever made to return to in-person exams, then this may become important again for those traveling to participate in the Assessment Centre, for example. Make sure to alwas check the official EPSO policy in force at the time of your competition.
As a general rule, in order to provide equal chances for all EU citizens, EPSO reimburses a flat-rate travel cost and hotel expenses for those who need to travel to Brussels for the Assessment Centre.
For the pre-selection exams, there is no reimbursement possible (even if a candidate has to travel to another country where an exam centre is located in case there is no exam opportunity in his or her own country - though each EU Member State has at least one exam centre, the above situation may happen in other continents around the world).
The reimbursement may take a few weeks but it is a right that all candidates have once they are invited to the Assessment Centre.
